Applications

Embedded Instrumentation
Remote, Autonomous IO
Mobile Instrumentation
Distributed Data Acquisition

Distributed Data Acquisition – Put the mini-K7 at the data source and reduce system errors and complexity. Optional GPS or IEEE1588-synchronized timing, triggering and sample control is available for remote I/O. Limitless expansion via multiple nodes. Up to 4 SSD for data logging.

Uniquely customizable – dual FMC sites for IO, user- programmable FPGA for IO interfaces, triggering and timing control, USB ports.

Remote or Local Operation – Continuous data streaming up to 3200 MB/s to SSD or Gb/s Ethernet. Optional, stand- alone, autonomous operation with GPS-synchronized sampling.

Rugged – SSD boot drive support in a compact, rugged footprint that is ready for embedded operation.

9-18V DC-Only Operation – Perfect for portable or automotive data loggers or waveform generators.
